I’ve listened to most of the episodes of The Job Shop Show and it has been one of the single most beneficial resources for my brother and I. We launched our own machine shop in 2021 and are always searching far and deep for sources we can trust with regards to the best methods and strategies to grow our shop. Jay Jacobs doesn’t hold anything back and is genuinely interested in the well being and prosperity of shops like ours and American manufacturing as a whole. Some episodes have been more helpful for us to listen to than others, given our current circumstances, but I have received nuggets of helpful information from every single episode. I am very grateful to great stewards of the manufacturing industry, such as Jay Jacobs and many of his guests, helping all generations (especially younger generations) feel the hope for and develop a deeper understanding of all aspects of manufacturing, from job shops to OEM’s and beyond. Thank you and I look forward to learning a lot more from past and future episodes. Sincerely, Brian

Regardless of your experience level in manufacturing - this is a must listen! Jay does an incredible job covering all the insights, innovations and headlines you need to know about to stay ahead of the curve - with inspiring interviews from industry leaders who actually have first-hand experience. Highly recommend listening and subscribing!

The Job Shop Show is an incredible resource for those in the machining and manufacturing world! The interviews Jay leads are really engaging, and his expert guests offer up actionable advice and insights into the future of the industry. 10/10 would recommend checking it out!

It was wonderful hearing the story of Jonathan Frieda and Black Mountain Manufacturing. Very inspiring. Will try to tune in on a regular basis going forward. I definitely recommend this podcast.

Whether you run a job shop or not, what you hear in this podcast will help you elevate your game no matter your industry!

This is hands down the best podcast about running/buying/operating a job shop. Helpful and insightful interviews. I can not recommend this enough for anyone interested in the business of machining.

Incredible insight into all aspects of running a Job Shop. Topics ranging from software tech, automation, tooling, finance and sales. Great personal stories from Job Shop owners on how they grew their business. The best part is learning about Jay and how he grew his shop Rapid from 4 people to 300.

With so many software solutions on the market to pick from it’s interesting to hear what other people are using. By far the best podcast for real shop talk, other ones I’ve heard are more general manufacturing! Keep them coming!

It’s great to learn how these manufacturers are running their business. Lots of actionable nuggets of wisdom from Jay Jacobs and his guests. If you are a job shop owner, don’t sleep on this podcast!
